Everyone wants assessments to provide more than data. Teachers and leaders want assessments that inform actionable steps for improving teaching and learning. In this edWeb podcast, we explore the concept of instructionally useful assessments and how they contribute to balanced assessment systems in schools. You learn how certain kinds of assessments can support teachers and different kinds of assessments can support leaders by offering the right kinds of information each key role needs to support student academic achievement and growth.

During this session, listeners:

  • Explore the features and value of instructionally useful assessments in schools
  • Discuss how to use assessment data beyond just test scores to guide real instructional change
  • Evaluate the purpose and use of state and interim assessments and their role in balanced assessment systems
  • Understand how learning progressions and specific classroom practices can lead to deeper insights and actionable steps for instruction
  • Learn how assessments can be used to make student thinking visible and adjust instruction in real time

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 superintendents, principals, curriculum directors, and teacher-leaders focused on improving learning outcomes.
